A "confident" Noah Lolesio has ticked all the boxes after his serious back injury, with the Wallabies playmaker suiting up for the Brumbies in their critical Super Rugby Pacific match against the Crusaders.

Lolesio was stretchered from the field earlier this month in a neck brace with initial fears he had suffered a spinal injury but Brumbies coach Stephen Larkham said the 25-year-old was raring to go.

"Noah responded extremely positively to treatment," Larkham said.

"He got through his rehab and trained really well the back end of last week. He's confident heading into this weekend and it's great to have him back in the side."

In other Brumbies line-up changes for the GIO Stadium match, prop Feao Fotuaika and Tuaina Taii Tualima come into the starting line-up, with Tom Hooper moving to the second row to accommodate the latter at No.8.
